ALovedTwilight: Athena padded through the plaza with much on her mind, distracting her from the words she carried held in her hands, lightly tapping on her thigh as she walked. She felt… weird, it wasn’t often the hybrid felt this way… about everything, but today. She was quizzical. Athena pulled off quizzical well. “I wonder… if dad…” her voice trailed off, when her brow furrowed again and she had to mentally shake herself, and begin walking once more.
pandalilypancake: The sun was shining and the people waltzed here and there with their idle chatter. This curly furred kitty felt that it was better to do otherwise. He, after meeting with the territory leader and assistant girl, wanted some time alone. He lay on the edge of the fountain with the tip of his tail dipping in the water as he lay with his back facing the air; having a kitty nap.
ALovedTwilight: Peeking up through her red hair Ath made out the fountain, humming softly to herself. She was the niece to the master of this territory… so why was it that her skin prickled every time she got near the darker allies around the central area? Shaking her head the femme turned around, barely thinking as she walked to the fountain and sat down, and took off her shoes. Ath found it quiet appealing to drape her legs into the water and stir it with her feet, a content smile fixed on her features. Spring was in the air, tickling her nose and making lights dance in her eyes. Her favorite time, a time of romance and love~
“If only, it were only like this.”
pandalilypancake: The ripples in the water disturbed Oliver's tail in the water as be sunbathed. His eyes blinked a few times as he looked to see a red haired cat. 'no... it can't be. not again.' He quickly scrambled to his feet, thinking it was the territory leader taking him on more expeditions. He liked them, but he liked Oliver-time as well. As he scrambled to his feet and carried his jacket, he slipped the wrong way and fell straight into the fountain. He sputtered as he stuck his head out of the water and paddled to the ledge of the fountain before realizing this was a female cat and not the territory leader. 'I must look like such a loser now...' he sulked to himself.
ALovedTwilight: What was it that showed in her face when the boy fell in, shock, amusement, sympathy? She knew how it was, being the center of attention when all you wanted to do was disappear, but it was still funnier then hell. Shaking her head with a half cocked smile Ath hopped off the side of the fountain and waded into the waters, which touched her to about upper thigh. She offered a hand to the older, but not too much so male and gave him her best amused smile.
“No worries, If I could I would say I do it all the time… but I do similar.” She chuckled to herself, with a genuine smile that reached her eyes.
“I’m Athena.”
pandalilypancake: He began to blush and slink back into the water but then his ears picked up the girl's voice. He tucked his legs under him and accepted the offered hand. "Thanks." He said shyly towards her. "You don't have to mind me, I'm just a klutz." he said sticking his tongue out slightly with a smile on his face. "But nice to meet you Athena. My name's Oliver." He said as he pulled himself out of the water, having it reach just about his knees.
ALovedTwilight: The female laughed, but not at him, there was a difference with her. “You and me both. Visiting my uncle I almost always trip going up the stairs.” She let go of his hand and trudged her way back to the place where she was sitting. (Trudge because now her lower half was completely drenched… and the leather pants she was wearing didn’t fare well in water, and was holding her down.) “So I take it your enjoying the lovely break of weather as well?” She stretched with the words, lying on the length of the edge, one hand still dipping lazily in the water, her head lightly resting on her novel, watching the male curiously.
pandalilypancake: He climbed out of the water and sat next to her. He chuckled a bit as he wrung out his red jacket and set it out in the sun to dry. "Those stairs can be tricky in these parts. They're meant for humans, not kitty cats. And your uncle, he lives in the Plaza?" Oliver voiced before running through the people who he knew were in the territory. 'That assistant girl? no... she can't be an uncle. Wait... it can't be... Aiden? I didn't know he had a mate.' he thought to himself as he didn't want to make assumptions just yet. "I've never seen you around these parts before. Do you happen to visit him often?" He asked.
ALovedTwilight: It was her turn to blush. She really wasn’t one to brag too much, especially to one she didn’t know all that well. “He’s… the master here. I’m his twin brother’s daughter, and sad to say you may be seeing more of me soon.” Ath laughed and watched the pools form around her fingers, watching the male in the pool of water.
“I love it here, far more then the enclosed mansion where I live.” Ath closed her eyes, seeming to take in the sky, the water the spring afternoon with a intake of breath. No, coops were never her idea of a good time… not to mention how clingy her father had become, after Nyx had left.
pandalilypancake: Oliver smiled and nodded. "ahh." he expressed openly. "That's good to know that there's another kitty in the plaza. It was getting sort of lonely." He said. There hadn't been much in the Plaza that affected him, so out of sight, out of mind, right? He smiled to her and nodded "It's a nice place; this plaza. rowdy during sale times, but generally no one really bothers you here." He said, advertising the Plaza a bit. "You used to live in a mansion? How was it like there?" He asked. Being a stray for a long time made him forget the comfortable life of domesticated cats.
ALovedTwilight: Athena: “Oh it’s not really a mansion… just an old apartment building with the name of Nayanman’s Mansion. Supposedly something’s important about it, but I really don’t keep up with those things.” Ath basked in the attention of someone new, someone, that quite honestly was very handsome in his own right. She stretched out, her frame easily bending into a arch as she did so. “I love this place, plenty always happening. I don’t much like the quiet life, but when I do… I just want to hole up in book store and gain knowledge. I mean, you can only take so much before you need to be alone right? In the mansion I never get a moments peace, here, I feel like I can laze about all day.”
pandalilypancake: He chuckled as she bent back into an arc and described this life she once had. "I've heard things about the mansion, but never anything bad." He said with a smile. "Yea. It's nice to have company but there also needs to be time for cat naps, strolls and just generally being lazy" he said. Little did she know that he was secretly a slob when he was lazing about alone in his make-shift homes. He pulled his tank top to wring it out some more as he sat on the stone while she lay to his side. "but hectic Mansion life doesn't sound too bad." He said as he thought of when there were sales or promotions amongst the humans. It almost made him laugh at their competitive nature over a good deal.
ALovedTwilight: Athena: she said nothing, her thought process a bit deterred by the lifting of a tank-top that was already revealing… but skin, was something else entirely. A blush erupted on her face, as she realized she was staring. “Uh… something happened awhile ago, with a female that used to live there… her name was… V something, but yeah, its not all that great really. More… of a… starting off point. The real adventure is out here.”
pandalilypancake: "Ahh. Well, hopefully whatever was at the mansion works itself out." He said as he stretched his arms in the air as if he were trying to collect the clouds and pull them down. He looked over as her face reddened. He didn't know why she was because his body was far from perfect. It was soft and not buff at all like a warrior kitty. but anyhow, he put his tank top back onto his stomach and immediately, it stuck onto his skin. He made a face as he pulled his black tank top away from his body as he tried to get it to stop sticking. "doesn't your wet clothes sticking to you bother you at all?" He asked. He was wearing just his black tank top but she had a much more intricate outfit that didn't look one bit comfortable when wet.
ALovedTwilight: “umm… not really.” Ath looked down, realizing just once he wasn’t the only one showing off his form. Hers was somewhat stuck to her body, the tight leather on her legs, and the already skintight corset made the already skin tight corset cling more so her form.
“Not particularly… most of what I’m wearing, is pretty weather resistant. I tend to wander and get in the strangest situations. Plus I can’t really take them off.” Her face lit up again, but this time she brushed it away mentally. Nothing to be ashamed of… this was just the first… older guy she had been around that wasn’t family. Well… there was Achilles, but he was more of a sidekick. Not someone she would have to bond with, I mean they had to right? They were going to be living –and possibly defending- the same place.
pandalilypancake: Oliver, trying to keep his eyes locked with hers, laughed. With his peripheral vision, he could see the black clothes cling to her. He tried his best not to look because well, it was wrong. "That is true." he said "unless you had dry clothes to change into, but no one carries extra clothes around nowadays." He said, trying to get her mind off of the clinging clothes. Making Athena feel uncomfortable was the last thing he wanted to do. It had been a while since he had talked with a girl and he felt a bit awkward.
ALovedTwilight: Ath laughed, shaking her head as she did so. “No not really. And I don’t want to go home right now. I mean I’m sure Aidan has something, but I don’t really want to go back there today, not alone at least. Him and Hikari… I don’t know, there’s always this… sexual tension.” The girl was quick to blush, at least around new people… her face just turned deeper red as she talked. “sorry…” she had no idea why she was apologizing, but randomly she thought of the fountain to cover. “bout the … wet.” She gestured to the fountain and directed a smile his way.
“So, anything in particular you do around here?”
pandalilypancake: He nodded softly as he looked to his hands. At least the leader had something better to do that to bother him and his daily rounds. "Well, doesn't sound like he'd like to be disturbed from that, right?" He said jokingly, trying to get rid of the awkward atmosphere hanging in the air. It made him smile when he saw her blush though. It was cute, despite her fretting before she blushed. "There's no need to apologize!" He said with a chuckle under his breath. "It's pretty quiet today here." He said as he answered her last question. "Mostly it's just exploring, lazing or watching the humans pass left and right.
ALovedTwilight:
Standing up in a fluid motion she offered a hand to him, while picking up her now –wet- book with the other. “Lets explore… and if we happen to find food along the way, mores the better.” Winking at him with that half-cocked grin she waited for him for a few seconds before striding off in the direction of the food stands. “I hate walking around her alone, it always seems like there’s a darker undercurrent to everything you know?” Not to mention this is where humans captured her…
But he didn’t need to know that. Ath unknown to herself is a perfect mix of her father and his twin, even though half the time she denied being related to either.
pandalilypancake: Smiling at the friendly gesture, he picked up his wet red jacket and took her hand as he hopped off the fountain edge. He hadn't gone on his daily exercise walk, so this would be good to kill time, chat and do his stroll. "It's alright when you know the place well with all the nips and where to tuck." He said, making little to no sense. "you're hungry?" He asked. He was sort of ashamed that he didn't notice that she was hungry. "There's lots of food around here. But some humans are mean about it and scoff at us 'alley cats' " He said making air quotes with his fingers
ALovedTwilight: Grinning up at him Ath shook her head “I’m ALWAYS hungry. Though usually that’s the guys line.” She swung their hands and laughed, “Guess you will have to be the Valiant knight and get this Damsel something tasty. Show me how it’s done.” She wasn’t helpless, but Athena wanted to see just what this male was capable of. Always judge your enemies, and allies for that matter. Know their weaknesses and what they could do. She was still smiling up at him, seemingly ignoring everything around them.
pandalilypancake: Oliver grinned as he knew which little old ladies with bird feed would chase them and which fish store's daughters who worked part time would give them the leftover fish from the night before that would eventually go to waste and the garbage rats anyways. Thinking it was fun, he began playing along and replied with, "This knight is far from valiant in the presence of the princess." He said as he bent over, took her hand and attempted to peck it lightly.
ALovedTwilight: She laughed merrily with him, until he bent over her hand. She was in mid-swing as he did so, and it bumped his nose and lips… a bit roughly. “Gah I’m so sorry!” It took a lot to get Athena off guard, but somehow he managed it, she knelt over to look at him, bending to look at his face up close. Shaking her head she managed a smile, “Soooo I’m the princess you say. I wasn’t thinking I was worthy enough to be a princess, a duchess maybe… but Princess. Humm. Aren’t princesses suppost to have long hair and be absolutely gorgeous?” She flicked her hair over her shoulder with the book, still gazing at him from a short distance away, making sure the bump to his nose didn’t swell or anything like that.
pandalilypancake: He laughed as he got hit. "Serves this knight right for attempting to kiss the hand of a princess. Only your prince is allowed that, i guess" He said as he rubbed his nose gently. It was a rough hit, but it wasn't too much of a smack compared to sparring or being hit by opening doors when humans didn't see him. He laughed quietly before he replied "Anyone can grow their hair out long! And you are quite the looker." He said, giving her a playful wink as she watched him. He found it sort of funny that he fit into half of her princess must-haves. If he was drop-dead gorgeous, would he be a princess too? He already had the hair, after all.
ALovedTwilight: Athena gave an exasperated sigh “whatever, how bout this. You be the princess and I’ll be the prince, I would rather save someone then be stuck in a tower anyway.” She winked at him and continued on, thinking about the statement. It had just come to her… but how true it was. Ath wasn’t someone to sit idly and wait for someone to save her… something that was sure to get her in trouble one day. Now that they were closer to the old bookstore she started getting a little more cautious…
Aidan was weird about some things… and who knew what he would think if she was still sticking around here when there was ‘apparently danger on the horizon’ or some silly thing such as that. She gave a small smile, trying not to think too much about his ominous warning.
pandalilypancake: Oliver openly laughed. "How can I be the pricness?" He said. "I'm not even a girl and most princesses I've heard of weren't men." He said. "How about you can be the princess that does all the butt-kicking?" He suggested. He's heard of powerful princesses before. Like Mulan. She won against the Huns and saved China! "Now about that feast..." He said, remembering that Athena said that she was hungry. "That fish shop is always crowded near the end of the week. Lots of ladies go there to buy fish to make for their families. But it's alright today." He said as he walked towards the shop but still making sure that Athena didn't get lost or carried away by some human child.
ALovedTwilight: Smiling and stopping so that the male could take the lead Athena followed. “but most of the time females are treated as less then men. I can do anything you can do, and yet until I prove myself I will be considered less in the eyes of men. So I should cut my hair and get a giant steed, and go about rescuing real damsels in distress. People like my sister, beautiful people you know?” She watched as he neared the place. Calling after him since she decided she would stand back and watch.
“Besides, you would be a prettier princess then me anyway. HAVENT YOU HEARD OF CROSSDRESSING?”
pandalilypancake: Oliver nearly burst out laughing as she complimented him on being pretty. "I truly think you're the prettier princess~" He said honestly. He wasn't cute or sexy or anything! He was just... Oliver. Nothing more but perhaps much less. "I think women can do anything men can. I met some pretty powerful women in my adventures here." He remembered Valiant who was fighting her own war when he had met her in the rain. "Some are simply gorgeous too." He said to her as he approached the stall, meowed cutely towards the shop keeper, hoping that he would pity them and give them some food. Oliver wasn't a hunter. He was when he needed to be. But when there were plenty of leftovers from the humans' wasteful natures, it would be a shame to just let it rot when they're already dead and butchered, right?
ALovedTwilight: The hybrid had to keep from going ‘awwww’ while he put on the obvious front for the humans. “I’m such a cute kitten look at me mew.” She mocked from outside the stall with a wink and sticking out her tongue. Ath batted her eyelashes at the woman when she looked in her direction, and sat on her haunches watching.
She chose to change the subject form his silly views. He wasn’t like most males, that was for sure, but this was just plain odd. Even her father saw females in such a old fashioned way. So did her mother. But ath was no looker compared to her sisters… Nyx and Kai… then of course there was her misfit sister that was more exotic and gorgeous then she would ever be. Selfless too. Though Athena was adorable she was seriously sub conscious about things like her beauty.
pandalilypancake: Oliver ignored Athena who made fun of him by the exit. True it was a bit embarrassing to be begging humans for food, but hey, it's safer and the food is definitely free of parasites and worms, right? After a few pitiful mews and a rubbing of his head against the leg when they teased him with the fish, he received what he had wanted; pieces of fish that weren't sold the day before and certainly wouldn't be sold today. He let out a long sweet meow of thanks before making off with the food. Getting his curly furred butt far from the stall and to where Athena was, he set it down from his kitty teeth. "M'lady, thine feast is served." He said in the most pompous voice he could come up with.
ALovedTwilight: “ok your smart, I’ll give you that.” Ath nuzzled up to him before taking a piece of fish and promptly eating it. She stretched when she was done, peeking up at him through falls of red hair. Her hair was long, but not to the point of her siblings, hell even her male ones! “Thank you.” She grinned at him, contented smile upon her lips.
“And you are the princess. Watch one of these days I’m going to save you. And you will see.” Ath winked and grinned again, looking at him waiting for him to do something funny.
pandalilypancake: Oliver smiled at her cutely. "I'll await that day, my prince" He said, giving into being called the princess. He rolled over onto his back as he watched her munch on the fish. He flicked his tail slightly as he noticed that she was done. "Now, where shall we venture?" He asked her curiously. He had never been a guide for anyone before. "Also, if there is a time your uncle wants you back, make sure you tell me ahead of time so neither of us get a scolding" He said as he rolled back over onto his front and stood back up. It would suck to be on bad terms with the territory leader because he was playing with his niece after her curfew.
ALovedTwilight: “mmm but cerfew’s are boring love. I just want to live in the moment. I’m suppost to be home later, but dad needs a good wake up call that I’m not a child anymore and cant really be scolded. Lead the way.” She smiled, offering her arm to him like a gentleman might to a lady, holding back a giggle. Territory master or not, Aidan wouldn’t get too mad, she was Kieran’s responsibility after she left Aidan’s bookstore.
Though Kieran wouldn’t feel the same way. But then, if her father knew the kind of toms that usually followed around her, she would be under lock and key always. She really would prefer to be the prince, because the princess always tended to be too weak.
pandalilypancake: The sun was shining and the people waltzed here and there with their idle chatter. This curly furred kitty felt that it was better to do otherwise. He, after meeting with the territory leader and assistant girl, wanted some time alone. He lay on the edge of the fountain with the tip of his tail dipping in the water as he lay with his back facing the air; having a kitty nap.
ALovedTwilight: Peeking up through her red hair Ath made out the fountain, humming softly to herself. She was the niece to the master of this territory… so why was it that her skin prickled every time she got near the darker allies around the central area? Shaking her head the femme turned around, barely thinking as she walked to the fountain and sat down, and took off her shoes. Ath found it quiet appealing to drape her legs into the water and stir it with her feet, a content smile fixed on her features. Spring was in the air, tickling her nose and making lights dance in her eyes. Her favorite time, a time of romance and love~
“If only, it were only like this.”
pandalilypancake: The ripples in the water disturbed Oliver's tail in the water as be sunbathed. His eyes blinked a few times as he looked to see a red haired cat. 'no... it can't be. not again.' He quickly scrambled to his feet, thinking it was the territory leader taking him on more expeditions. He liked them, but he liked Oliver-time as well. As he scrambled to his feet and carried his jacket, he slipped the wrong way and fell straight into the fountain. He sputtered as he stuck his head out of the water and paddled to the ledge of the fountain before realizing this was a female cat and not the territory leader. 'I must look like such a loser now...' he sulked to himself.
ALovedTwilight: What was it that showed in her face when the boy fell in, shock, amusement, sympathy? She knew how it was, being the center of attention when all you wanted to do was disappear, but it was still funnier then hell. Shaking her head with a half cocked smile Ath hopped off the side of the fountain and waded into the waters, which touched her to about upper thigh. She offered a hand to the older, but not too much so male and gave him her best amused smile.
“No worries, If I could I would say I do it all the time… but I do similar.” She chuckled to herself, with a genuine smile that reached her eyes.
“I’m Athena.”
pandalilypancake: He began to blush and slink back into the water but then his ears picked up the girl's voice. He tucked his legs under him and accepted the offered hand. "Thanks." He said shyly towards her. "You don't have to mind me, I'm just a klutz." he said sticking his tongue out slightly with a smile on his face. "But nice to meet you Athena. My name's Oliver." He said as he pulled himself out of the water, having it reach just about his knees.
ALovedTwilight: The female laughed, but not at him, there was a difference with her. “You and me both. Visiting my uncle I almost always trip going up the stairs.” She let go of his hand and trudged her way back to the place where she was sitting. (Trudge because now her lower half was completely drenched… and the leather pants she was wearing didn’t fare well in water, and was holding her down.) “So I take it your enjoying the lovely break of weather as well?” She stretched with the words, lying on the length of the edge, one hand still dipping lazily in the water, her head lightly resting on her novel, watching the male curiously.
pandalilypancake: He climbed out of the water and sat next to her. He chuckled a bit as he wrung out his red jacket and set it out in the sun to dry. "Those stairs can be tricky in these parts. They're meant for humans, not kitty cats. And your uncle, he lives in the Plaza?" Oliver voiced before running through the people who he knew were in the territory. 'That assistant girl? no... she can't be an uncle. Wait... it can't be... Aiden? I didn't know he had a mate.' he thought to himself as he didn't want to make assumptions just yet. "I've never seen you around these parts before. Do you happen to visit him often?" He asked.
ALovedTwilight: It was her turn to blush. She really wasn’t one to brag too much, especially to one she didn’t know all that well. “He’s… the master here. I’m his twin brother’s daughter, and sad to say you may be seeing more of me soon.” Ath laughed and watched the pools form around her fingers, watching the male in the pool of water.
“I love it here, far more then the enclosed mansion where I live.” Ath closed her eyes, seeming to take in the sky, the water the spring afternoon with a intake of breath. No, coops were never her idea of a good time… not to mention how clingy her father had become, after Nyx had left.

ALovedTwilight: Grinning up at him Ath shook her head “I’m ALWAYS hungry.

Show me how it’s done.” She wasn’t helpless, but Athena wanted to see just what this male was capable of. Always judge your enemies, and allies for that matter. Know their weaknesses and what they could do. She was still smiling up at him, seemingly ignoring everything around them.
pandalilypancake: Oliver grinned as he knew which little old ladies with bird feed would chase them and which fish store's daughters who worked part time would give them the leftover fish from the night before that would eventually go to waste and the garbage rats anyways. Thinking it was fun, he began playing along and replied with, "This knight is far from valiant in the presence of the princess." He said as he bent over, took her hand and attempted to peck it lightly.
ALovedTwilight: She laughed merrily with him, until he bent over her hand. She was in mid-swing as he did so, and it bumped his nose and lips… a bit roughly. “Gah I’m so sorry!” It took a lot to get Athena off guard, but somehow he managed it, she knelt over to look at him, bending to look at his face up close. Shaking her head she managed a smile, “Soooo I’m the princess you say. I wasn’t thinking I was worthy enough to be a princess, a duchess maybe… but Princess. Humm. Aren’t princesses suppost to have long hair and be absolutely gorgeous?” She flicked her hair over her shoulder with the book, still gazing at him from a short distance away, making sure the bump to his nose didn’t swell or anything like that.
pandalilypancake: He laughed as he got hit. "Serves this knight right for attempting to kiss the hand of a princess. Only your prince is allowed that, i guess" He said as he rubbed his nose gently. It was a rough hit, but it wasn't too much of a smack compared to sparring or being hit by opening doors when humans didn't see him. He laughed quietly before he replied "Anyone can grow their hair out long! And you are quite the looker." He said, giving her a playful wink as she watched him. He found it sort of funny that he fit into half of her princess must-haves. If he was drop-dead gorgeous, would he be a princess too? He already had the hair, after all.
ALovedTwilight: Athena gave an exasperated sigh “whatever, how bout this. You be the princess and I’ll be the prince, I would rather save someone then be stuck in a tower anyway.” She winked at him and continued on, thinking about the statement. It had just come to her… but how true it was. Ath wasn’t someone to sit idly and wait for someone to save her… something that was sure to get her in trouble one day. Now that they were closer to the old bookstore she started getting a little more cautious…
Aidan was weird about some things… and who knew what he would think if she was still sticking around here when there was ‘apparently danger on the horizon’ or some silly thing such as that. She gave a small smile, trying not to think too much about his ominous warning.
pandalilypancake: Oliver openly laughed. "How can I be the pricness?" He said. "I'm not even a girl and most princesses I've heard of weren't men." He said. "How about you can be the princess that does all the butt-kicking?" He suggested. He's heard of powerful princesses before. Like Mulan. She won against the Huns and saved China! "Now about that feast..." He said, remembering that Athena said that she was hungry. "That fish shop is always crowded near the end of the week. Lots of ladies go there to buy fish to make for their families. But it's alright today." He said as he walked towards the shop but still making sure that Athena didn't get lost or carried away by some human child.
ALovedTwilight: Smiling and stopping so that the male could take the lead Athena followed. “but most of the time females are treated as less then men. I can do anything you can do, and yet until I prove myself I will be considered less in the eyes of men. So I should cut my hair and get a giant steed, and go about rescuing real damsels in distress. People like my sister, beautiful people you know?” She watched as he neared the place. Calling after him since she decided she would stand back and watch.
“Besides, you would be a prettier princess then me anyway. HAVENT YOU HEARD OF CROSSDRESSING?”
pandalilypancake: Oliver nearly burst out laughing as she complimented him on being pretty. "I truly think you're the prettier princess~" He said honestly. He wasn't cute or sexy or anything! He was just... Oliver. Nothing more but perhaps much less. "I think women can do anything men can. I met some pretty powerful women in my adventures here." He remembered Valiant who was fighting her own war when he had met her in the rain. "Some are simply gorgeous too." He said to her as he approached the stall, meowed cutely towards the shop keeper, hoping that he would pity them and give them some food. Oliver wasn't a hunter. He was when he needed to be. But when there were plenty of leftovers from the humans' wasteful natures, it would be a shame to just let it rot when they're already dead and butchered, right?
ALovedTwilight: The hybrid had to keep from going ‘awwww’ while he put on the obvious front for the humans. “I’m such a cute kitten look at me mew.” She mocked from outside the stall with a wink and sticking out her tongue. Ath batted her eyelashes at the woman when she looked in her direction, and sat on her haunches watching.
She chose to change the subject form his silly views. He wasn’t like most males, that was for sure, but this was just plain odd. Even her father saw females in such a old fashioned way. So did her mother. But ath was no looker compared to her sisters… Nyx and Kai… then of course there was her misfit sister that was more exotic and gorgeous then she would ever be. Selfless too. Though Athena was adorable she was seriously sub conscious about things like her beauty.
pandalilypancake: Oliver ignored Athena who made fun of him by the exit. True it was a bit embarrassing to be begging humans for food, but hey, it's safer and the food is definitely free of parasites and worms, right? After a few pitiful mews and a rubbing of his head against the leg when they teased him with the fish, he received what he had wanted; pieces of fish that weren't sold the day before and certainly wouldn't be sold today. He let out a long sweet meow of thanks before making off with the food. Getting his curly furred butt far from the stall and to where Athena was, he set it down from his kitty teeth. "M'lady, thine feast is served." He said in the most pompous voice he could come up with.
ALovedTwilight: “ok your smart, I’ll give you that.” Ath nuzzled up to him before taking a piece of fish and promptly eating it. She stretched when she was done, peeking up at him through falls of red hair. Her hair was long, but not to the point of her siblings, hell even her male ones! “Thank you.” She grinned at him, contented smile upon her lips.
“And you are the princess. Watch one of these days I’m going to save you. And you will see.” Ath winked and grinned again, looking at him waiting for him to do something funny.
pandalilypancake: Oliver smiled at her cutely. "I'll await that day, my prince" He said, giving into being called the princess. He rolled over onto his back as he watched her munch on the fish. He flicked his tail slightly as he noticed that she was done. "Now, where shall we venture?" He asked her curiously. He had never been a guide for anyone before. "Also, if there is a time your uncle wants you back, make sure you tell me ahead of time so neither of us get a scolding" He said as he rolled back over onto his front and stood back up. It would suck to be on bad terms with the territory leader because he was playing with his niece after her curfew.
ALovedTwilight: “mmm but cerfew’s are boring love. I just want to live in the moment. I’m suppost to be home later, but dad needs a good wake up call that I’m not a child anymore and cant really be scolded. Lead the way.” She smiled, offering her arm to him like a gentleman might to a lady, holding back a giggle. Territory master or not, Aidan wouldn’t get too mad, she was Kieran’s responsibility after she left Aidan’s bookstore.
Though Kieran wouldn’t feel the same way. But then, if her father knew the kind of toms that usually followed around her, she would be under lock and key always. She really would prefer to be the prince, because the princess always tended to be too weak.
